About that TYR suit.... its made of lycra and doesn't handle well with chlorine.  They make great suits, but they don't hold up well in chlorine.  You can see through the hiney of my TYR suit after only a few months of wear. 

Just keep an eye on the back end so you aren't showing your goods to everyone. 

Had a problem with drafters did ya?

That statement is worthless without a pic.....

You better watch what you say, sir, or you will get what you are asking for.  I may be little but I got enough @$$ for everyone here... You've seen the Otter Pop picture that proves it.

Nope... but the people at the pool thought it was funny.

All of this talk about our fearless leader educating us on the finer points of lycra disintegration has brought me out of my quiet lurking funk.

I've really slacked off.  My swimming went out the window entirely as I got to the point of not being able to lift my arms...even had to cancel my lessons and swim clinic which really pissed me off.  That was so frustrating to think maybe I wasn't going to be able to do a tri, that I let everything else slide.  Still doing some running, a little biking, and some weight lifting...but nothing like before....and I feel like a fat slug as a result...even though fortunately I haven't gained weight back.

 I found a couple of things I was doing in my strength training that I've eliminated that has helped my shoulders some so I'm going to try a nice easy morning in the pool tomorrow and see if I can get back on track.

 Good job to all of you that are still on track with your training.  I apologize for not being a better team member and supporting you rather than just doing my silent self pity...but I'll be better from today on!

 Robyn good to have you back.  Did anyone start a schedule of member events anywhere that we can keep better track of who's entered somewhere?

Alan, glad to see you're back. Sounds like some over training- frutrations- burnout. Take a little break. Find some good motivating stuff, like Tri mags, books and video. maybe taper down for a week or so. It seems I keep having "things' thrown i my way of training. My wife decided to keep Boridie home form daycare today, but then she decided to sleep in, so I am here watching him. I have to wik tonight, and there will have to be some "family time" this afternoon. I'll get some training in somewhere, just not sure where.

Oh, and BTW, I would like to see our "Queen of All Things Tri's" Royal Hiney-ness too.

What?  You mean to tell me that hot pace booty is not motivation enough for you?  Ha!   Just kidding.

A good motivator for me:  sign up for a race.  Then you are committed and you HAVE to do it.

Another good one is finding tri/running mags and cutting the pics out and taping them to random things around your house, like the mirror in your bathroom, the fridge, microwave, tv set, etc.

Curt-

Where in Michigan do you live?  If you are anywhere near Kensington Metropark, there is a large group of some of the best and wackiest BTers you'll find anywhere that get together on Saturdays to run.  If you are interested in joining us, you are more than welcome.  I guarantee a good time, a great workout, and recovery cocoa when you are done.  There is a recurring thread in the Michigan forum to get the details, but if you need info, let me know.  Usually its trixie (Lisa), rkreuser (Rick), matt3liv (Matt), rottieguy (Steve) and I.  We have had a few others drop in to run too.  Distance and pace is at your leisure.

These events are truly not to be missed.  Its a blast.

Its something similar to this....

Hope this clears up any need for visuals.

I turn the big 4-0 in August 

I am 38 and act like I am 13....
